Looks good, but what is going to take a week to finish? The paint job?

COYBILT 10-23-2007 02:57 AM

looks good so far, oh what is the color?

Did you spray the inner fender seperate from the firewall?

Is this a 3 stage or a 2 stage paint?

yep, just the paint, maybe a week or two. i'm hoping to have her on the road by early next year, i was hoping for jan/feb timeframe.:yes:

its a 3 stage paint. right now the door jambs and a few parts have been painted. i'll try to get some more pics of the other parts today. :D

gmjj13 10-27-2007 08:25 PM

deuce_454 11-13-2007 04:17 AM

looks like the prep is perfect... but if thats a 3 stage paint, the pictures either do it no justice or its a plain regal red.. im hoping for the first of the two... get some proper pics that shows the color

awr68 11-13-2007 06:49 AM

Looking good!!

gmjj13 11-13-2007 07:28 AM

pics don't do it justice. here's another shot. the pics were taken in the evening, so the light kinda sucks...

it was hard to let go, but i figured that the new wheels wouldn't hurt the look of the car too much... :lolhit:

Looking great man...congrats on getting this far.:cheers:

Joel145 07-27-2008 06:36 PM

Sweet car!!! I may have missed something but why is your speedo in KPH? Aren't you here in Fl.

tones2SS 07-27-2008 07:33 PM

Looking good.
That motor sits well in that engine bay.:thumbsup:

radrambler 07-27-2008 07:34 PM

nice job
 
car looks great...

oh,your about an hour s.w. of me... any good cruise nights in ocala?

radrambler

gmjj13 07-28-2008 07:10 AM

Thanks for the compliments:D it feels great to be this far along. can't wait to be on the road!

as far as the speedo, i will be moving to Germany in the very near future. I figured it would be easier to just go ahead and put the Kph speedo in so everything is ready for when i get there. hopefully i can get her TÜV approved. we'll see.

rambler, not much here in Ocala. i know they have a car show every 3rd saturday in the villages just south of here. not really much here except for horses and retirees, and the retirees seem to be pushing out the horses:faint: so are you in the Stark/Lawtey area?

jy211 07-28-2008 08:20 AM

what's the details on the motor! Cars' looking great! :thumbsup:

gmjj13 07-28-2008 06:23 PM

motor is just a little BBC:yes: ...496ci, AFR 325 Magnums (milled to 114cc/CNC Chambers &CNC bowl blend), Dart intake port matched to heads, demon 850, comp hydraulic roller, all forged rotating assembly, pump gas friendly 9:1cr...
